Description
Pyroelectric Infrared Detectors by Stephen G. Porter provides a comprehensive introduction to pyroelectricity and pyroelectric detectors for those with a basic understanding of physics and mathematics.
The book covers the fundamental concepts of the pyroelectric effect, including pyroelectric materials, device physics, and black-body radiation. It also delves into performance modelling of pyroelectric detectors, leading to the derivation of performance figures of merit.
Additionally, the book explores various applications of pyroelectric detectors, such as sensors, monitors, radiometers, and thermal imagers, with a comparison to alternative technologies.
